*2. What is this lawsuit about?

This lawsuit is about the ability of certain Sony-brand televisions to display and/or accept a 1080p input signal. When you plug a video device into a television, that device transmits a video signal, which is then converted into an image that is shown on the screen. Plaintiff claimed that SEL and ABC Appliance represented and advertised that certain Sony high-definition televisions had a 1080p display resolution, but that these representations were misleading because the televisions did not always provide a 1080p display resolution, were incapable of accepting input of 1080p signals, and could not accept and display video content at 1080p resolution via the televisions’ PC and HDMI Input. SEL and ABC deny that they did anything wrong.
